2024 Ardova Premier League: Imo Sports Commissioner Praises Governor Uzodinma for Imo Grasshoppers' Strong Start

Posted : 19 May 2024

Imo State Youth and Sports Commissioner, Obinna Onyeocha, has credited the support and motivation from Governor Senator Hope Uzodinma as the reasons behind the impressive start of the Imo Women's Handball team, Imo Grasshoppers, at the ongoing Ardova Handball Premier League in Benin City, Edo State.

 

Imo Grasshoppers have defeated Defender Babes (29-27), Delta Queens (35-27), Bendel Dynamos (33-17), and Chief of Army Staff (34-21), but lost a game to Rivers Queens (33-29) after they capitulated towards the end of the game.

 

The Imo Sports Commissioner said Governor Hope Uzodinma has provided all that Imo Grasshoppers needed to excel in Benin City, and he is not surprised the team has begun the first phase of the league season with outstanding results.

 

He charged them to continue to put their acts in order and work together to achieve more victories that will see them finish the first phase of the league at the top of the table.

 

"I want to state that all the necessary support, encouragement, and motivation—financially and materially—have been given to the team by His Excellency, the Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma," Honorable Onyeocha said.

 

"The amiable Governor has vowed and determined to promote and redevelop sports in the state during his second term in office. Their victory is a victory to all Imolites."

 

He added that the Governor has tasked them to go for more victories to ensure they put Imo State in the forefront of Handball in Nigeria again.

 

Meanwhile, Sports Commissioner Obinna Onyeocha has led a powerful delegation to Yenagoa, the capital of Bayelsa State, ahead of the Nigeria Women's Football League Premiership Super Six, which kicks off at the Samson Siasia Stadium, Yenagoa, on Saturday. Heartland Queens are among the six competing teams.

 

Heartland Queens will face Nasarawa Amazons on Saturday in their first game in Yenagoa.
